San Celina's most exclusive society suddenly has an opening, and Benni Harper has been tapped - not to join, but to investigate. The upper-crust, female-only "49 Club" is restricted to exactly that many members, and one must die before another can join. When the latest socialite de-pledges in her sleep, Benni's queenly boss, Constance Sinclair, wants answers from the police. But they've just shrugged cranky Constance's inquiry off - and, naturally, it's landed on Benni's to-do list.Reluctant at first, Benni agrees to profile a few club hopefuls whose social ambitions give them an obvious motive. And it's not long before Benni recognizes that there may be some deadly truth to Constance's suspicions. But with a famously reclusive artist about to put Benni's quilting museum on the map - and her daunting mother-in-law soon to arrive - Benni's holiday is already hectic. Nevertheless, she'll need to crack this exclusive circle of suspects before another gourmet goose gets cooked.
